80.He frowned

  1. He frowned and turned away
  2. when the blind man came to him––
  3. for all you know, he might have grown in spirit
  4. or taken note of something useful to him
  5. For the self-satisfied one
  6. you go out of your way––
  7. though you are not to be blamed for his lack of spiritual growth––
  8. but from the one who has come to you full of eagerness
  9. and awe
  10. you allow yourself to be distracted
  11. No indeed! This [Quran] is a lesson
  12. from which those who wish to be taught should learn
  13. [written] on honoured
  14. exalted, pure pages
  15. by the hands of
  16. noble and virtuous scribes
  17. Woe to man! How ungrateful he is
  18. From what thing does God create him
  19. He creates him from a droplet, He proportions him
  20. He makes the way easy for him
  21. then He causes him to die and be buried
  22. When He wills, He will raise him up again
  23. Yet mandoes not fulfil God’s commands
  24. Let man consider the food he eats
  25. We pour down abundant water
  26. and cause the soil to split open
  27. We make grain grow
  28. and vines, fresh vegetation
  29. olive trees, date palms
  30. luscious gardens
  31. fruits, and fodder
  32. all for you and your livestock to enjoy
  33. When the Deafening Blast comes––
  34. the Day man will flee from his own brother
  35. his mother, his father
  36. his wife, his children
  37. each of them will be absorbed in concerns of their own on that Day
  38. on that Day some faces will be beaming
  39. laughing, and rejoicing
  40. but some faces will be dust-stained
  41. and covered in darkness
  42. those are the disbelievers, the licentious
